Read the following excerpt from levitt and dubner's freakonomics in the beginning, feldman left behind an open basket for the cash, but too often the money vanished. then he tried a coffee can with a money slot in its plastic lid, which also proved too tempting. in the end, he resorted to making small plywood boxes with a slot cut into the top. the wooden box has worked well. each year he drops off about seven thousand boxes and loses, on average, just one to theft. this is an intriguing statistic: the same people who routinely steal more than 10 percent of his bagels almost never stoop to stealing his money box-a tribute to the nuanced social calculus of theft. from feldman's perspective, an office worker who eats a bagel without paying is committing a crime; the office worker probably doesn't think so. this distinction probably has less to do with the admittedly small amount of money involved (feldman's bagels cost one dollar each, cream cheese included) than with the context of the "crime." the same office worker who fails to pay for his bagel might also himself to a long slurp of soda while filling a glass in a self-serve restaurant, but he is very unlikely to leave the restaurant without paying. which of the following best summarizes the main idea of this paragraph? the definition of crime is objective and does not depend on who commits the crime or what type is committed. the definition of crime is subjective and depends on who commits the crime and what type is committed mark this and return save and exit next submit

Read the excerpt from a supporting opinion of the supreme court’s ruling in plessy v. ferguson, 1896. laws permitting, and even requiring, their separation in places where they are liable to be brought into contact do not necessarily imply the inferiority of either race to the other, and have been generally, if not universally, recognized as within the competency of the state legislatures in the exercise of their police power. how does this relate to the premises of brown v. board of education? the brown case addresses whether state legislatures are equipped to judge the quality of education offered at segregated schools. the brown case addresses whether authorities believe that one race is inferior to another when creating public schools. the brown case addresses whether these laws inherently deny certain citizens equal protection under the law. the brown case addresses the legality of using police power to monitor public places separated by race.
